Cakery Start Up

Q: I want to start a cakery in Los Angeles, but I don't know what I need to open it. I have employees, and a location, but don't know what I need to open my business.

A: If you are planning to open a business selling cakes in LA, you will need a Los Angeles Business License, a California Sellers Permit, a Federal Tax ID, and since you have employees, you will also need a Federal Employee Identification Number. The best service to use to get these permits is www.businessnameusa.com. They are quick, skilled, experienced and professional, and their prices are extremely competitive. If you intend to do any food preparation on site, you are also going to need a health permit. It is important to consider your start up costs when founding your business, as food service businesses can be quite expensive.

DBA Solution

In 2005 I was trying to get a DBA for my online business selling handbags in Mission Viejo, California. First I went to the Mission Viejo and the told me to go to San Diego. So I went all the way to San Diego, they told me to go back to Mission Viejo, by that time I was completely fed up with waiting in line and speaking to people behind windows. So I called BusinessNameUSA.com so they could get me a DBA. They did everything, they even got a notary to come to my house. BusinessNameUSA.com is great, they got it done fast and easy.

State Tax ID Nightmare

In 2006 I was trying to start a comic book shop in Long Beach, CA. I wanted to have a couple of employees, and I heard I had to have a State Tax ID number in order to have workers on the books. Seeing as my business was located downtown, I didn’t think it would be a problem to go down to the courthouse and get the number in an hour or two. Big mistake. No one there even knew what I was talking about, they sent me on a wild goose chase to all different offices and buildings, and at the end of the day I wasn’t any closer to getting the number. One of the people at the courthouse told me about BusinessNameUSA.com and the next day I called them. Within a few days I got the number I needed and I had saved myself countless hours and headaches trying to get registered, which left me more time organize me 15,000 comic books. BussinesNameUSA.com is defiantly the way to go.

Headaches Avoided

Filling services can be a life saver. In, 2005 I was trying to start a business from my home, selling saint candles in St. Petersburg, Florida. First I went to a government building, and I had to stand in line for an hour and a half. Then at the end of the line there was a rude woman behind the counter who told me I couldn’t even start the business. She gave me some mumbo jumbo about city zoning ordinance even though I was just selling home made candles over the internet. I was at a total loss, then I called BusinessNameUSA.com, and within a week they got me a Business License, a Federal Tax I.D. and a Sellers Permit. Now I’m running a successful business, and it’s thanks to www.BusinessNameUSA.com, they’re a Godsend.

How to start a business

There's a lot of money to be made selling things online from your home. There's almost no overhead and you can work on the side of a full-time job. One question that almost always comes up is, "do I need the same licenses that I would for a regular commercial business?"

The answer is YES. As long as you make more than a trivial amount of gross revenue, you are considered a business and operating without a license is illegal. It doesn't matter if you are amazon.com or just selling some clothes on eBay.

This link will help you determine exactly what you will need.

You'll definitely need a business license and federal tax ID for IRS identification purposes. If you want anything wholesale at all, you'll need that wholesaler's/seller's permit too. Additional forms are needed if your business name is different from your legal name and if you have employees - don't take any risks. Take that test and run your business, legally.
